The beautiful theorem of \textit{B. Green} and \textit{T. Tao} [Ann. Math. (2) 167, No. 2, 481--547 (2008; Zbl 1191.11025)] says that the primes contain arithmetic progressions of any length. The authors give a short and clear exposition of the proof, incorporating simplifications of Gowers, Reingold, Trevisen, Tulisioni and Vodhon, Tao and their-selves. Some connections with graph/hypergraph theory are discussed.
